It sold approximately 304,000 copies in its first week, Billboard 200, behind Jay-Z's Kingdom Come. The album debuted at number two on the U.S. CommercialĬompeting with a flurry of releases during its opening week (Jay-Z, The Beatles, Johnny Cash and others), Daughtry proved to be commercially viable. The album was nominated for four 2008 Grammy Awards: Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song for "It's Not Over", Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "Home", and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "It's Not Over" the album did not win any. The album won an American Music Awards in 2007 for Favorite Pop-Rock Album. b People magazine found the album "a solid if not spectacular effort that at the very least proves that Chris Daughtry is not just another Idol also-ran." Christian Hoard (with Rolling Stone) said that " Daughtry gets points for not courting soccer moms, but just because he can howl like a mother fucker doesn't mean he's not a cheeseball." In a truly mixed review, Billboard said the album "is music tailor-made for ill-conceived radio formatting, music for consumers whose taste has already been well-established if not preprogrammed," then added, "But Daughtry sure does sing his butt off." Allmusic broke from the pack, so to speak, with Stephen Thomas Erlewine calling the album a "a debut that's not only a lot more credible than any American Idol-affiliated rock album should be, but it's a lot easier to digest than most of its ilk." In a humorous review, comedian Stephen Colbert found Chris Daughtry's success further proof of the impending "cultural Armageddon." He remarked, "It's bad enough this guy sounds like Creed.but Daughtry's success sets a dangerous precedent of rewarding losers.America elected Taylor Hicks as its Idol, and we owe him our loyalty." While Ken Barnes of USA Today conceded that Chris Daughtry has "strong pipes and palpable angst", overall he found the band "generic", calling them " Fuel Nickel Staind back". Reception CriticalĬritical response to Daughtry was mixed while many critics felt that the album was generally pleasing and the first real "rock" album from American Idol alumni, others felt it was unoriginal and too commercial. In 2009, ESPN's NASCAR Food Network telecasts used " Feels Like Tonight" and " Home" for promotions. It is still being promoted, along with the band's second studio album Leave This Town. Three years after the album's release it continues to maintain a spot in the top 100 best selling albums. The album was released on Februby RCA Records and 19 Recordings Limited. On December 25, 2008, the song was nominated for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.
Fraser, producer Amanda Smith, and Course of Nature frontman Mark Wilkerson are credited as co-writers. The first single released from the album is " It's Not Over", and fellow Idol contestant G.
These two songs appeared on the album Uprooted. "Breakdown", as it appears on Daughtry, is actually a rewrite and combination of two songs previously, "Conviction" and "Break Down", performed by Chris Daughtry's former hard rock/ alternative metal band "Absent Element".
